Well done @Rahimdad and morning Pink Rock convoy for setting perfect example of social distancing.

@Wrangeld thanks for your great trip report with awesome detailing that made me feel as if I was truly there. @Lorenzo Candelpergher you are among very few who actually know how to use drone and then share it's beautiful aerial shot with everyone here. Love your drive video, drone shot, kiddo's excitement and personal introduction. At least in COVID times we can digitally meet new faces this way. @Jeepie @paolo dassi @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ @Anvar Sadath Bekal @J J @Nayan Shenai thanks for sharing wonderful pictures in the gallery. Looks like our resident Superman - @Rahimdad is treating you all newbies with extreme hill climbs very well.

We will have these more often, so join when you are ready to really have a meaningful takeaway.

Same for @Michael sammy please sign out as it's an Intermediate level drive.

If it still fits you......!
